“The source said surrogates for Weiner approached the Santa Monica-based company days after Indiana native Sydney Leathers came forward to say that Weiner had continued his digital dalliances after resigning from Congress,” the paper reported.

The source said the Weiner campaign used the company “several times,” including at the Aug. 11 Dominican Day Parade in Manhattan, where it is alleged a number of actors were paid $15 an hour to make up a crowd of his supporters.

Weiner spokeswoman Barbara Morgan told the Post, “We’ve never heard of this company and certainly never used them.”
